#'cloud computing' is what built the infrastructure and what the majority of this is

That tweet about each ai prompt wasting a full 16oz of water isn't true like at all

[probablyasocialecologist]

The cryptocurrency hype of the past few years already started to introduce people to these problems. Despite producing little to no tangible benefits — unless you count letting rich people make money off speculation and scams — Bitcoin consumed more energy and computer parts than medium-sized countries and crypto miners were so voracious in their energy needs that they turned shuttered coal plants back on to process crypto transactions. Even after the crypto crash, Bitcoin still used more energy in 2023 than the previous year, but some miners found a new opportunity: powering the generative AI boom. The AI tools being pushed by OpenAI, Google, and their peers are far more energy intensive than the products they aim to displace. In the days after ChatGPT’s release in late 2022, Sam Altman called its computing costs “eye-watering” and several months later Alphabet chairman John Hennessy told Reuters that getting a response from Google’s chatbot would “likely cost 10 times more” than using its traditional search tools. Instead of reassessing their plans, major tech companies are doubling down and planning a massive expansion of the computing infrastructure available to them.

[...]

As the cloud took over, more computation fell into the hands of a few dominant tech companies and they made the move to what are called “hyperscale” data centers. Those facilities are usually over 10,000 square feet and hold more than 5,000 servers, but those being built today are often many times larger than that. For example, Amazon says its data centers can have up to 50,000 servers each, while Microsoft has a campus of 20 data centers in Quincy, Washington with almost half a million servers between them. By the end of 2020, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google controlled half of the 597 hyperscale data centres in the world, but what’s even more concerning is how rapidly that number is increasing. By mid-2023, the number of hyperscale data centres stood at 926 and Synergy Research estimates another 427 will be built in the coming years to keep up with the expansion of resource-intensive AI tools and other demands for increased computation. All those data centers come with an increasingly significant resource footprint. A recent report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that the global energy demand of data centers, AI, and crypto could more than double by 2026, increasing from 460 TWh in 2022 to up to 1,050 TWh — similar to the energy consumption of Japan. Meanwhile, in the United States, data center energy use could triple from 130 TWh in 2022 — about 2.5% of the country’s total — to 390 TWh by the end of the decade, accounting for a 7.5% share of total energy, according to Boston Consulting Group. That’s nothing compared to Ireland, where the IEA estimates data centers, AI, and crypto could consume a third of all power in 2026, up from 17% in 2022. Water use is going up too: Google reported it used 5.2 billion gallons of water in its data centers in 2022, a jump of 20% from the previous year, while Microsoft used 1.7 billion gallons in its data centers, an increase of 34% on 2021. University of California, Riverside researcher Shaolei Ren told Fortune, “It’s fair to say the majority of the growth is due to AI.” But these are not just large abstract numbers; they have real material consequences that a lot of communities are getting fed up with just as the companies seek to massively expand their data center footprints.

[mariacallous]

I stopped using my cellphone for regular calls and text messages last fall and switched to Signal. I wasn’t being paranoid—or at least I don’t think I was. I worked in the National Security Council, and we were told that China had compromised all major U.S. telecommunications companies and burrowed deep inside their networks. Beijing had gathered information on more than a million Americans, mainly in the Washington, D.C., area. The Chinese government could listen in to phone calls and read text messages. Experts call the Chinese state-backed group responsible Salt Typhoon, and the vulnerabilities it exploited have not been fixed. China is still there.

Telecommunications systems aren’t the only ones compromised. China has accessed enormous quantities of data on Americans for more than a decade. It has hacked into health-insurance companies and hotel chains, as well as security-clearance information held by the Office of Personnel Management.

The jaded response here is All countries spy. So what? But the spectacular surprise attacks that Ukraine and Israel have pulled off against their enemies suggest just how serious such penetration can become. In Operation Spiderweb, Ukraine smuggled attack drones on trucks with unwitting drivers deep inside of Russia, and then used artificial intelligence to simultaneously attack four military bases and destroy a significant number of strategic bombers, which are part of Russia’s nuclear triad. Israel created a real pager-production company in Hungary to infiltrate Hezbollah’s global supply chains and booby-trap its communication devices, killing or maiming much of the group’s leadership in one go. Last week, in Operation Rising Lion, Israel assassinated many top Iranian military leaders simultaneously and attacked the country’s nuclear facilities, thanks in part to a drone base it built inside Iran.

In each case, a resourceful, determined, and imaginative state used new technologies and data to do what was hitherto deemed impossible. America’s adversaries are also resourceful, determined, and imaginative.

Just think about what might happen if a U.S.-China war broke out over Taiwan.

A Chinese state-backed group called Volt Typhoon has been preparing plans to attack crucial infrastructure in the United States should the two countries ever be at war. As Jen Easterly put it in 2024 when she was head of the Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), China is planning to “launch destructive cyber-attacks in the event of a major crisis or conflict with the United States,” including “the disruption of our gas pipelines; the pollution of our water facilities; the severing of our telecommunications; the crippling of our transportation systems.”

The Biden administration took measures to fight off these cyberattacks and harden the infrastructure. Joe Biden also imposed some sanctions on China and took some specific measures to limit America’s exposure; he cut off imports of Chinese electric vehicles because of national-security concerns. Biden additionally signed a bill to ban TikTok, but President Donald Trump has issued rolling extensions to keep the platform functioning in the U.S. America and its allies will need to think hard about where to draw the line in the era of the Internet of Things, which connects nearly everything and could allow much of it—including robots, drones, and cloud computing—to be weaponized.

China isn’t the only problem. According to the U.S. Intelligence Community’s Annual Threat Assessment for this year, Russia is developing a new device to detonate a nuclear weapon in space with potentially “devastating” consequences. A Pentagon official last year said the weapon could  pose “a threat to satellites operated by countries and companies around the globe, as well as to the vital communications, scientific, meteorological, agricultural, commercial, and national security services we all depend upon. Make no mistake, even if detonating a nuclear weapon in space does not directly kill people, the indirect impact could be catastrophic to the entire world.” The device could also render Trump’s proposed “Golden Dome” missile shield largely ineffective.

Americans can expect a major adversary to use drones and AI to go after targets deep inside the United States or allied countries. There is no reason to believe that an enemy wouldn’t take a page out of the Israeli playbook and go after leadership. New technologies reward acting preemptively, catching the adversary by surprise—so the United States may not get much notice. A determined adversary could even cut the undersea cables that allow the internet to function. Last year, vessels linked to Russia and China appeared to have severed those cables in Europe on a number of occasions, supposedly by accident. In a concerted hostile action, Moscow could cut or destroy these cables at scale.

Terrorist groups are less capable than state actors—they are unlikely to destroy most of the civilian satellites in space, for example, or collapse essential infrastructure—but new technologies could expand their reach too. In their book The Coming Wave, Mustafa Suleyman and Michael Bhaskar described some potential attacks that terrorists could undertake: unleashing hundreds or thousands of drones equipped with automatic weapons and facial recognition on multiple cities simultaneously, say, or even one drone to spray a lethal pathogen on a crowd.

A good deal of American infrastructure is owned by private companies with little incentive to undertake the difficult and costly fixes that might defend against Chinese infiltration. Certainly this is true of telecommunications companies, as well as those providing utilities such as water and electricity. Making American systems resilient could require a major public outlay. But it could cost less than the $150 billion (one estimate has that figure at an eye-popping $185 billion) that the House of Representatives is proposing to appropriate this year to strictly enforce immigration law.

Instead, the Trump administration proposed slashing funding for CISA, the agency responsible for protecting much of our infrastructure against foreign attacks, by $495 million, or approximately 20 percent of its budget. That cut will make the United States more vulnerable to attack.

The response to the drone threat has been no better. Some in Congress have tried to pass legislation expanding government authority to detect and destroy drones over certain kinds of locations, but the most recent effort failed. Senator Rand Paul, who was then the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and is now the chair, said there was no imminent threat and warned against giving the government sweeping surveillance powers, although the legislation entailed nothing of the sort. Senators from both parties have resisted other legislative measures to counter drones.

The United States could learn a lot from Ukraine on how to counter drones, as well as how to use them, but the administration has displayed little interest in doing this. The massively expensive Golden Dome project is solely focused on defending against the most advanced missiles but should be tasked with dealing with the drone threat as well.

Meanwhile, key questions go unasked and unanswered. What infrastructure most needs to be protected? Should aircraft be kept in the open? Where should the United States locate a counter-drone capability?

After 9/11, the United States built a far-reaching homeland-security apparatus focused on counterterrorism. The Trump administration is refocusing it on border security and immigration. But the biggest threat we face is not terrorism, let alone immigration. Those responsible for homeland security should not be chasing laborers on farms and busboys in restaurants in order to meet quotas imposed by the White House.

The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are giving Americans a glimpse into the battles of the future—and a warning. It is time to prepare.

3D Laser Scanning – Types | Benefits | Applications

3D Laser Scanning

3D laser scanning techniques have been developed since the end of 1990s for 3D digital measurement, documentation and visualization in several fields including 3D design in processing industry, documentation and surveying in architecture and infrastructure. By using a 3D laser scanner, a tunnel or underground construction can be digitized in 3D with a fast-scanning speed and high resolution up to “mm” level. 

The scanning data consists of not only XY-Z co-ordinates but also high-resolution images, either gray-scale (with reflex intensity data) or color (with RGB data), and then can be transformed into a global co-ordinate system by control survey. Therefore, any rock engineering objects with its as-built situation can be quickly recorded as the 3D digital and visual format in a real co-ordinate system and provides a potential application for 3D measurement, documentation and visualization with high resolution and accuracy.

In modern engineering the term ‘laser scanning’ meaning is the controlled steering of laser beams followed by a distance measurement at every direction. This method, often called 3D object scanning or 3D laser scanning, is used to rapidly capture shapes of objects, buildings, and landscapes.

What is 3D Laser Scanning?

3D laser scanning is a non-destructive, non-contact method of capturing data that can be used for rapid and accurate creation of three-dimensional files, for archiving and digital manipulation. A 3D laser scanner emits a narrow laser beam that hits a target object, gathering millions of closely spaced measurements in a matter of minutes. These scanned measurements are put together and grouped into compressed point cloud databases, which can be processed to generate a 3D dense representation of the object.

3D Scanners Bridging Physical and Digital Worlds

3D scanners are tri-dimensional measurement devices used to capture real-world objects or environments so that they can be remodeled or analyzed in the digital world. The latest generation of 3D scanners do not require contact with the physical object being captured.

3D scanners can be used to get complete or partial 3D measurements of any physical object. The majority of these devices generate points or measures of extremely high density when compared to traditional “point-by-point” measurement devices.

How 3D Scanning Works?

Scanning results are represented using free-form, unstructured three-dimensional data, usually in the form of a point cloud or a triangle mesh. Certain types of scanners also acquire color information for applications where this is important. Images/scans are brought into a common reference system, where data is merged into a complete model. This process — called alignment or registration — can be performed during the scan itself or as a post-processing step.

Computer software can be used to clean up the scan data, filling holes, correcting errors and improving data quality. The resulting triangle mesh is typically exported as an STL (STereoLithography or Standard Tessellation Language) file or converted to Non-uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) surfaces for CAD and BIM modeling.

Types of Laser Scanning

1. Airborne Laser Scanning (LiDAR)

Airborne laser scanning (LiDAR = acronym for ‘Light detection and Ranging’, also LIDAR) is a scanning technique for capturing data on the features of, and objects on, the surface of the earth. It is an important data source in environmental studies, since it is capable of mapping topographic height and the height of objects on the surface to a significant vertical and horizontal accuracy, and over large areas. Airborne laser scanning is an active remote sensing technology able to rapidly collect data from vast areas.

2. Terrestrial Laser Scanning

Terrestrial Laser Scanners (TLS) are positioned directly on the ground, or on a platform placed on the ground, and are normally mounted on a tripod. TLS is, in its essence, an improved version of the laser tachometric measurement toolkit (the so-called total station) that is based on the combination of distances and angles measured from a fixed point. Tachometric laser scanners digitize objects of interest with a frequency of 1000 Hz or higher. Each point is measured per one oblique distance and, additionally, two orthogonal angles are measured. Most TLS are long-range devices. Nowadays, a great variety of TLS is available with different range and pulse frequencies.

3. Handheld (portable) Laser Scanning

There has recently been an increase in the application of handheld scanners. Their basic advantage is their portability. Scanners that are attached to light portable stands fall in this category as well, even though they are not ‘handheld’ in the true sense of the word. Primary used in reverse engineering, nowadays they are very often employed in digital documentation of moveable cultural heritage objects.

4. Long- and Short-Range Laser Scanning

Long-range laser scanning is tailored for surveying and monitoring expansive areas or structures. Using high-powered lasers and advanced optics, it covers distances from yards to miles/meters to kilometers. Employing time-of-flight or phase-based technologies, it finds applications in geological surveys, urban planning, infrastructure monitoring, and archaeological site mapping. Short-range laser scanning focuses on high-precision tasks within confined spaces. Covering distances from centimeters to meters/ feet to yards, it utilizes structured light or laser triangulation. Widely used in industrial metrology, 3D scanning, quality control, and cultural heritage preservation, it excels in capturing fine details with accuracy.

3D Scanning File Formats

• Stations with registration sets • Created panorama(s) • Measured points • Leveling information

Benefits of 3D Laser Scanning

3D laser scanning has become an indispensable tool across many industries due to its ability to capture highly detailed and more accurate 3D data. Here are some of the key benefits of 3D laser scanning:

High Accuracy

Laser scanning provides extremely accurate measurements, making it effective for applications where precision is critical, such as engineering, construction, and product manufacturing.

Rapid Data Capture

Laser scanners can quickly collect a large amount of data, reducing the risk associated with scanning high buildings and improving field staff safety.

Non-contact Technology

Laser scanning is noninvasive and doesn’t require physical contact with the object or environment being scanned, making it ideal for fragile, hazardous, or hard-to-reach locations.

Comprehensive Documentation

Laser scanning creates detailed and comprehensive digital records of objects, buildings, or landscapes, which are invaluable for preservation and historical archiving.

Visualization

Data from 3D laser scans can be used to create highly realistic visualizations, aiding in the design, analysis, and communication of complex structures and spaces.

Clash Detection

When integrated with building information modeling (BIM), laser scanning helps identify clashes between design plans and existing structures, reducing costly construction errors.

Applications of 3D Laser Scanning

3D Laser Scanning is used in numerous applications:  Industrial, architectural, civil surveying, urban topography, reverse engineering, and mechanical dimensional inspection are just a few of the versatile applications. 3D laser scanning technology allows for high resolution and dramatically faster 3D digitizing over other conventional metrology technologies and techniques.  Some very exciting applications are animation and virtual reality applications.

1. Construction Industry and Civil Engineering

a. As-built drawings of bridges, industrial plants and monuments b. Documentation of historical sites c. Site modelling and lay outing d. Quality control e. Quantity surveys f. Freeway redesign g. Establishing a benchmark of prre-existing shape/state in order to detect structural changes resulting from exposure to extreme loadings such as earthquake, vessel/truck impact or fire. h. Create GIS (Geographic Information System) maps and Geomatics

2. Reverse Engineering

Reverse Engineering refers to the ability to reproduce the shape of an existing object. It is based on creating a digitized version of objects or surfaces, which can later be turned into molds or dies. It is a very common procedure, which has diverse applications in various industries. Non- contact 3D laser scanning allows even malleable objects to be scanned in a matter of minutes without compression, which could change their dimensions or damage to their surfaces. Parts and models of all sizes and shapes can be quickly and accurately captured. 3D laser scanning for reverse engineering provides excellent accuracies and helps to get products to market quicker and with less development and engineering costs. 3D Laser scanning provides the fast, accurate, and automated way to acquire 3D digital data and a CAD and BIM model of part’s geometry for reverse engineering when none is available. Also, new features and updates can be integrated into old parts once the modeling is accomplished. A practical mechanical and civil engineering application would be to assist in the production of "as built" data and documentation. Currently, many manufacturing or construction activities are documented after the actual assembly of a machine or civil project by a designer or engineering professional. 3D laser scanners could expedite this activity to reduce man-hours required to fully document an installation for legacy.

3. Mechanical Applications

Reverse engineering of a mechanical component requires a precise digital model of the objects to be reproduced. Rather than a set of points a precise digital model can be represented by a polygon mesh, a set of flat or curved NURBS surfaces, or ideally for mechanical components, a CAD solid model. A 3D scanner can be used to digitize free-form or gradually changing shaped components as well as prismatic geometries whereas a coordinate measuring machine is usually used only to determine simple dimensions of a highly prismatic model. These data points are then processed to create a usable digital model, usually using specialized reverse engineering software.

4. Civil Applications

Civil activities could be for a roadway periodic inspection. The digitized roadway data could be contrasted to previous roadway 3D scans to predict rate of deterioration. This data could be very helpful in estimating roadway repair or replacement costing information. When personnel accessibility and/or safety concerns prevent a standard survey, 3D laser scanning could provide an excellent alternative. 3D Laser scanning has been used to perform accurate and efficient as-built surveys and before-and after construction and leveling survey.

5. Design Process

Design process including: a. Increasing accuracy working with complex parts and shapes b. Coordinating product design using parts from multiple sources c. Updating old CD scans with those from more current technology d. Replacing missing or older parts e. Creating cost savings by allowing as-built design services, for example: automotive manufacturing plants. f. “Bringing the plant to the engineers” with web shared scan and saving travel costs.

Conclusion

3D laser scanning equipment senses the shape of an object and collects data that defines the location of the object’s outer surface. This distinct technology has found applications in many industries including discrete and process manufacturing, utilities, construction. Laser scanning technology has matured and developed in the past two decades to become a leading surveying technology for the acquisition of spatial information.

The high-quality data produced by laser scanners are now used in many of surveying’s specialty fields, including topographic, environmental, and industrial. These data include raw, processed, and edited dense point clouds; digital terrain and surface models; 3D city models; railroad and power line models; and 3D documentation of cultural and historical landmarks. 3D laser scanners have a wide range of applications which applicable to very small object to a wide range area.

🔌 10G DAC Cables: The Unsung Hero Behind High-Speed Networks

In today’s digital world, where streaming, cloud computing, and AI workloads are growing at an explosive pace, the demand for faster, more reliable connectivity is greater than ever. But while most people talk about fiber optics and blazing Wi-Fi speeds, there’s a humble yet powerful component quietly powering the backbone of data centers and enterprise networks — the 10G DAC cable.

So, what exactly is a 10G DAC cable, and why should you care?

⚙️ What is a 10G DAC Cable?

DAC stands for Direct Attach Copper. A 10G DAC cable is a twinax copper cable with integrated transceivers on both ends, designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It’s typically used for short-distance, high-speed connections — often within the same rack or between adjacent racks in a data center.

You’ll usually see DAC cables with SFP+ connectors, making them plug-and-play compatible with switches, servers, routers, and storage gear that support SFP+ ports.

🔍 Why Are 10G DAC Cables So Popular?

Cost-Effective Compared to 10G optical transceivers plus fiber patch cords, DAC cables are far more affordable. There’s no need to purchase separate modules — everything is built-in.

Low Latency & High Performance Since the connection is electrical, DAC cables offer extremely low latency, which is ideal for time-sensitive applications like high-frequency trading or real-time data analytics.

Power Efficient Passive DACs don’t consume any power for signal conversion, and even active ones use far less power than their optical counterparts.

Simplified Deployment Just plug and go — no need to worry about cleaning fiber ends or handling delicate cables. It's perfect for fast deployments or rapid scaling in data centers.

🔌 Passive vs. Active DAC: What’s the Difference?

Passive DAC Cables are ideal for very short runs (typically under 5 meters). They rely entirely on the host device to drive the signal, with no built-in signal boosting.

Active DAC Cables have built-in electronics to amplify or condition the signal, allowing for longer reaches — usually up to 10 meters.

Choosing the right one depends on the distance and your system’s electrical capability.

🏢 Where Are 10G DAC Cables Used?

Data Center Rack-to-Rack Connections

Switch-to-Server Connectivity

Storage Area Networks (SANs)

High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters

Basically, wherever low-latency, high-bandwidth, short-distance connections are needed, 10G DAC cables shine.

🛠️ Choosing the Right 10G DAC Cable

Not all DAC cables are created equal. Here's what to look for:

Compatibility with major brands like Cisco, Juniper, Dell, etc.

Shielding and durability, especially for high-interference environments

Certified performance, especially if you're running mission-critical applications

For brands like Fibrecross, these cables are manufactured in ISO-certified factories and go through rigorous testing for signal integrity, thermal stability, and EMI shielding.

🧠 Final Thoughts

10G DAC cables may not be flashy, but they are workhorses in the world of network infrastructure. As bandwidth needs rise, especially with edge computing and AI workloads, having a reliable, cost-effective interconnect like a DAC cable can make a big difference in both performance and budget.

So next time you're planning a server deployment or network upgrade, don’t overlook the power of 10G Direct Attach Copper — small cable, big impact.

Building the Economy of Intelligence: A Guide to AI Token Development

As artificial intelligence continues to disrupt every major industry, another silent revolution is taking place in parallel AI token development. By combining the capabilities of decentralized blockchain systems with intelligent AI models, we are witnessing the rise of a new digital economy, where machine intelligence, value exchange, and human governance converge.

At the center of this transformation is the AI token a programmable asset designed to fuel, coordinate, and govern AI-powered ecosystems. But to make these tokens truly functional and scalable, developers are turning to advanced AI token development solutions that address the unique needs of this hybrid technology space.

Why AI Needs Tokens

Traditional AI systems often rely on centralized infrastructure cloud platforms, data providers, and compute resources controlled by a few major players. This centralization creates challenges such as:

Lack of transparency in how models are trained or used

Limited access to high-quality data

Restricted monetization opportunities for small developers and contributors

AI tokens solve these problems by introducing decentralized, blockchain-based mechanisms that allow for open participation, incentivization, and governance. They act as:

Access tokens for consuming AI services or APIs

Reward tokens for contributors who provide training data, compute, or validation

Governance tokens that empower communities to make decisions about AI protocol updates or behavior

Transactional tokens enabling autonomous agents to interact and exchange services

The Role of AI Token Development Solutions

While launching a basic token is relatively straightforward, designing one for AI ecosystems is far more complex. That’s why modern AI token development solutions focus on building tokens that are:

Context-aware: Capable of interacting with AI models, agents, and APIs

Incentive-aligned: Designed to reward useful behavior in AI systems (e.g., data accuracy, compute sharing)

Scalable: Built on high-performance blockchains with support for large-scale transactions and data flows

Governable: Equipped with smart contract-based voting systems and community control mechanisms

Secure: Audited and protected from manipulation, bias, or attack vectors unique to AI logic

These solutions typically come as full-service offerings or toolkits, including everything from tokenomics modeling to smart contract development, DAO setup, and multi-chain deployment.

Common Features of AI Token Development Solutions

Generic tokens don’t account for the dynamic behavior of AI systems. AI-focused tokens often include smart contract logic to manage:

Data staking for model training

On-chain model performance scoring

Dynamic pricing for AI services based on demand

2. AI Model Integration

AI token platforms need to interact with external AI models, tools, or data pipelines. Development solutions typically include:

Oracle integrations

API gateways for off-chain AI systems

Secure data bridges for sensitive model parameters

3. Decentralized Governance

Most AI projects require continuous evolution. Community voting mechanisms built into AI tokens allow users to:

Propose model upgrades

Choose preferred data sources

Adjust reward rates for contributors

4. Multi-Chain Compatibility

Given the scalability issues of Layer 1 chains like Ethereum, AI token development solutions often support:

Layer 2 solutions (Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism)

Cross-chain bridges for interoperability

Modular blockchains optimized for AI data

5. Security and Compliance

With AI tokens handling valuable data and decision-making, security is non-negotiable. Top-tier development solutions include:

Automated and manual smart contract audits

Identity and access management modules

Privacy-preserving protocols (e.g., zk-SNARKs for AI data sharing)

Real-World Applications

AI tokens are already reshaping how developers, users, and machines interact in decentralized environments. Some emerging use cases include:

Tokenized AI Marketplaces: Where AI models or datasets can be rented or purchased using tokens

Autonomous AI Agents: That perform tasks and exchange value using embedded AI tokens

Decentralized Compute Networks: Where GPU providers earn tokens for supporting AI workloads

AI-Powered DAOs: Governed by token holders who decide on AI model training, validation, and deployment

How to Get Started

If you’re building a project at the intersection of AI and blockchain, here’s how to begin:

Define the core utility of your AI token access, rewards, governance, or all of the above

Design your tokenomics model who earns, who pays, and how value circulates

Choose your development stack Ethereum, Solana, or a purpose-built AI blockchain

Select the right AI token development solution either through an in-house team or a dedicated provider

Plan for governance and scaling set up your DAO, cross-chain support, and community mechanisms

Conclusion

AI token development is more than just a trend it’s a foundational layer for the emerging machine economy. As intelligent systems become more autonomous and connected, tokens will serve as the economic and governance layer that allows humans and machines to collaborate at scale.

By leveraging purpose-built AI token development solutions, founders and developers can launch secure, scalable, and value-aligned tokens that unlock entirely new possibilities from autonomous agents to decentralized supercomputing.

Whether you're launching a startup, contributing to a protocol, or investing in the AI-Web3 frontier, now is the time to understand and embrace the power of AI tokens.
